The Dragunov SVD ("Snayperskaya Vintovka Dragunova", literally "Dragunov's sniper rifle") is an original rifle design, it was not meant for highly trained and specialized sniper teams, but rather for designated marksmen, spread in every basic infantry unit. In every platoon of Warsaw Pact troops, there was at least one Dragunov rifle marksman. To fulfill this role the rifle is relatively light for a sniper rifle but well balanced, making it easier to use in a dynamic battle. It also is a semi-automatic rifle, a rare feature for a sniper rifle at that time, to allow rapid fire and quicker engagement of multiple targets. Like an assault rifle, the rifle has mounts on the barrel to fix a bayonet.
The tactical use of the Dragunov was, from just behind the front-line, to target high value targets of opportunity and providing special long-distance disrupting and suppressive fire on the battlefield.
The Dragunov SVD have seen action in almost every battle since the Vietnam war.
